New year, new trends…
By now you’ll have resolved that through sheer blood, sweat and tears, this will be the year you become fitter, happier and richer. Which sounds like an awful lot of hard work. The good news? A few beauty tweaks is all it takes to look a little bit better — starting today.
Nails go nudeThe only thing nails should be wearing in 2013 is nudes.
Try Revlon Brilliant Strength biscuit-shade lacquer in Embody (£7.99, boots.com, Tranh sơn mài tặng tân gia from Tuesday), tranh sơn mài cửu huyền thất tổ Seche Nail Lacquer in Simplicity (£9.95, liberty.co.uk) or Mac’s fleshy Hangin’ Loose (£10, maccosmetics.co.uk).
Eyeliner heads down under Moschino Cheap and Chic
It’s used to nestling in the upper lashes. In 2013, eyeliner cosies up to lower ones, taking its colour cue from the deep blue sea with aquamarine at Stella McCartney and turquoise at Moschino Cheap and Chic.
Try Estée Lauder Pure Color Stay-On Shadow Paints in Extreme Emerald (1, £19, esteelauder.co.uk, from tomorrow) or YSL Facettes Pure Chromatics Eye Palette (2, £39.50, yslbeauty.co.uk) — we’ll see you on the flipside.
PARTINGS TAKE A SIDE STEP
Bye-bye 2012 volume; next year’s hair will be lying low in a slick side parting. Spray Sebastian Professional Shine Define Hair (£14.79, beautybay.com) on to a static-beating wooden toothbrush (£4.60, tranh sơn mài mỹ nghệ cebraethicalskincare.co.uk), use it to smooth strays and then refresh your knowledge of hair history. 1920s — the iconic boyish side sweep
1960s — Twiggy takes sides 1990s — Kate Moss plays her part
BBs are on a ROLL
Say goodbye to dark circles with Garnier’s Miracle Skin Perfector, tranh sơn mài cửu huyền thất tổ which combines a de-puffing massage ball and skin-perfecting BB cream.
Haloxyl smooths the appearance of lines and mineral pigment hides shadows. Join 2013’s niftiest revolution on 14 January. £9.99, boots.com.
